A few days ago a conference of the leaders of the three Allied nations - Roosevelt, Stalin, and Churchill - took place at Teheran.

Military and diplomatic representatives also took part.

Questions discussed at the conference related to the war against Germany and also to a range of political questions.

Decisions were taken which will be published.

This is the first time that the three leaders have met together and the first time that President Roosevelt has met Marshal Stalin. Mr. Churchill met him in Moscow in 1942. It is the first time that Stalin has left Russia since the Revolution

The conference in Teheran, the capital of Iran (Persia), followed that held in North Africa between Mr. Churchill, President Roosevelt, and Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek. That meeting lasted five days and ended a week ago yesterday.

The distance between Cairo, from which the North Africa Conference was announced, and Teheran is 1,250 miles. Marshal Stalin would have to travel over 1,500 miles from Moscow to meet his fellow Allied leaders.
